A tangle of trunks, stumps and large wood slabs are piled outside Branch and Bark Urban Sawmill, located next to the JIF plant on Midland Place and a stone’s throw from the intersection of Winchester Road and Midland Avenue. Local arborists and tree services know to call Branch and Bark if they have trees coming down for construction purposes or being felled due to disease, infestation or otherwise, and to drop them off at the sawmill.

                A.J. already had a skid-steer, a Bobcat S300, before he purchased a Halverson firewood processor. “I was using it around the house,” he said. “The property we have is on five acres, and it needed to be developed when we bought it.” In addition, he rents out the Bobcat through his father’s business.

Too bad they had to get clever and tie in a business enterprise with the dire warnings. Now I’m all confused — so we need to Firesmart but we need this machine to do it now? (And I share Russ Hobbis’ bemusement.) I don’t dismiss concerns about fire, but I do wonder why every single time the threat is mentioned as Gladish describes it — that nothing but fire suppression has been the norm for half a century. We’ve been firesmarting for at least 20 years, yet we keep hearing that conditions remain hopeless. Loeks did another report about 8 or so years ago where this clearcut/conversion came up (and it looked pretty sweeping on his maps), now he’s attached technology to it. Seems like he should be able to point to at least one project by now that followed that report. I suggest they clean up their messaging and stop trying to convince people by scaring them and selling them something at the same time. Calling anyone stupid because they’d appreciate hearing a more coherent strategy isn’t helping your cause, David Loeks.

                Gordon said that Sue, who is also his business partner, is the love of his life. And when he found her in 1990, he married her.

“The fate of Fort McMurray, AB, and recently, Paradise, CA (Calif.) as a result of forest fire is not just possible here, but in time, probable. It is difficult to overstate the seriousness of this risk…. Whitehorse is no less vulnerable than these two examples.”

The CV Series includes a commercial-style forward-tilting hood, which provides easy access to the engine and to routine maintenance points. Under that hood is the International 6.6-liter, 350-horsepower engine with 700 lb.-ft. of torque. Equipped with that engine and two Allison transmission options, the CV is capable of handling up to a maximum GCWR of 37,500 lbs.

“The Black Splitter hydraulic log and stump splitter models are a game changer,” said Eric Ransome, owner of Atlantic Excavator Attachments. They allow you to offload a truck and process a log or stump within minutes using small machines including mini-excavators and backhoes.”

The competitive study of Wood Chippers market players includes company profile, product information, and images, price analysis, manufacturing process, raw material cost, upstream raw material suppliers and downstream buyers, labor cost, product cost and gross margin analysis from 2013 to 2018. To overcome the main challenges leading with this market, the report supplies a systematic assessment for present days as well as the future. Deep analysis about market status, advantages, and disadvantages of products, regional industrial layout characteristics have been discussed in the Wood Chippers industry report.

                He subsequently decided to start a small firewood business. “The Halverson Wood Processor allowed us to start selling firewood because I could process it so fast and with such little effort,” he said. He produces and sells about 40-60 cords a year but has no plans to grow the business further. He markets firewood sales on craigslist and also promotes it on a Facebook page he has for his business.

Producing the polyvinyl chloride and metals that are used to make artificial trees generates greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. China is working to reduce pollution from its chemical industry, but this may drive up the prices of those materials and the goods made from them.

                Gordon started a mulch business seven years ago because he wanted to have more control over the price he was getting for his bark. Markets change and being able to keep pace with them in-house affords a great advantage. Currently darker colored mulches are favored by consumers in the area.

Many of the models listed below are multi purpose tools that can be used to turn branches and leaves into different sized mulch or chips. What chipper is right for me? When deciding on a chipper or shredder to purchase, some things to consider are the size of the branches you will be shredding, how often you will use it and of course, your budget.
